| What happens in Winter? | Plants grow the slowest, plants usually die but their roots stay alive, and the air is very cold, animals hibernate |
| What happens in Fall? | leaves change color, sunlight becomes less, plants begin to produce seeds, the air begins to cool, and animals begin to store food for winter and hibernation |

| Why can't plants grow their roots down into the ground in the tundra? | because the ground is permanently frozen |
| How many different species of animals live in the tundra? | 48 |
| What do humans use the tundra for? | mining diamonds and oil |
| Desert animals survive by being_____. This means they sleep_________ and are______ at night | nocturnal; during the day; awake |
| In the desert, what do animals do to escape the sun's heat? | dig burrows and tunnels underground |
| What do other animals in the desert do that can't dig their own burrows? | steal other animal's burrows |

| What are the water storage tanks for plants that live in the desert? | stems |
| Desert plants grow VERY________ to reach underground water | deep roots |
| Can seeds from desert plants survive a very long time waiting for rain to help them grow? | yes |
